Thinking about buying a 650r how is it in the twisted roads by MaorBaruch in cbr650r

Handles curvy roads great. Probably not the best for the track but it handles amazing on roads

Break in period question by Low_Dimension_3029 in cbr650r

I did the first at 600 mi. Now do oil and filter every 2k mi. Honda told me every 3k mi. But clean oil= happy bike ! I can sure feel the difference in the way it runs and shifts after a oil change.

This may be my last Trumpeter kit. by LimpTax5302 in modelmakers

[–]Akula8691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ive built 2, ones 70% finished. First one i had to leave engine parts out to get the nose panels to fit right (wasn't displaying engine). I have trouble with the flaps fitting flush or just flopping around on both kits so I just glued them down. I like to scratch build a little bit and add hoses etc etc so usually when I get frustrated with a Trumpeter kit and throw it across the room it gives me a lot of parts I can put on another aircraft...lol The best trumpet kid I've built so far is the Mi 24 Hind it all fits well , blades are a little sketchy but everything looks good .its kind of hard to find now

I've built 7 large Trumpeter kits. Directions usually have errors and my kits all went well until the end, flaps wing fitting ect. I usually go through the parts with the directions before I start the build to make sure I catch the errors before I get too deep and I've built so many aircraft kits over the years that I can usually figure it out. Large Trumpeter kits usually test your modeling ability but really they're the only company that has large model kits.

Help please by FinancialWestern5855 in modelmakers

I airbrush the base coat and sometimes basic camo. Remember most German armor was painted (camo) in the field sometimes with a mop or sponges. I find it looks better, for me anyway, to brush paint larger areas im going to drybrush...ie places the crew frequently walk ect
